Leadership Promises - The Mark Of A Believer

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35

Bud Wilkinson states, "If a team is to reach its potential, each player must be willing to subordinate his personal goals to the good of the team."

Leadership Promises - The Mark Of A Believer

Some sports teams seem to embrace an everyone-for-themselves mindset. Others weave the attitude of subordination and teamwork into the fabric of everything they do. Notre Dame and Penn State don't put the names of the players on their jerseys. Lou Holtz once said, "At Notre Dame, we believed the interlocking ND was all the identification you needed . . . If your priority is the team rather than yourself, what else do you need?".

Winning teams have players who put the good of the team ahead of themselves. They want to play in their area of strength, but they're willing to do what it takes to take care of the team. They are willing to sacrifice their role for the greater goal.
